Chess Team


Director: Mr. Geisler (Member of United States Chess Federation and Illinois Chess Association Youth Committee)

Grades: K through 8th

How Students are Selected: 

Generally, about 5 students from each participating grade level are selected after tryouts held in October.  Students who participated in the previous year are automatically invited back on the team.

Practice: 

Beginning in October, the Chess Club will meet twice a week.  Free Chess Fridays will begin in late September.  

What do students gain from being a part of the Chess Club?
Not only is chess one of the world's oldest games, but also it is a way for modern players to acquire several life skills. These include focusing, visualizing, thinking ahead, weighing different options, analyzing situations, and evaluating a plan.

The Bateman Chess team has become a well-respected competitor in the Chicago scholastic chess world.  This co-ed club has helped develop life-long friendships and a competitive spirit rooted in sportsmanship and commitment to improvement.
